Rover is my only source of income. I have all the time in the world right now to dedicate to this! When I eventually get a FT job, I plan on pet-sitting as a side job. Unless I find Remote work, which then I can bring with me anywhere! Either way, I will work pet/house sitting around my schedule so I can keep doing both!

Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your animals as I would my own. With lots of patience and affection and snuggles ☺️ I am highly respectful of my clients homes. I am an extremely trustworthy and responsible person. I clean up after myself and leave the home looking as it did when I got there.

Information Tara W. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if they are aggressive/would they bite/claw (cats) with people they don't know; as I would not be comfortable taking care of an animal like that. I also require that rabies be up-to-date for both dogs and cats. I will ask for proof of this beforehand.

A typical day

Whatever your doggy or kitty loves to do we can do!! My kitties love to play with catnip as a special treat, and love their springy toys and paper bags! I love brushing them but they hate it! :) A cat or dog who loves to cuddle would be great!

The heart of a Golden

Pet care experience

I have pretty much done it all! I've been around animals of all kinds since birth. I grew up around a herd of Aussies and a cluster of cats whom my mom couldn't refuse! :) I started personally helping with the cats around age 12. I've owned a Rabbit, hamsters, parakeets, guinea pigs, and a frog! I currently have 2 Himalayan cats who are my heart ❤️ I started pet-sitting when I was about 12. I have volunteer experience working at a museum for exotics, and used to work at a boarding kennel for cats and dogs. I supervised large groups of various breeds (dogs/cats) during playtime! Prior to working for Rover, I was a dog-walker/pet-sitter for 7 years for Metro-Pet. I regularly stayed in client's homes when they were on vacation. I've also been a foster mom for a golden retriever who stole my heart! I really have done it all☺️ I love breeds of all kinds, but will only care for those who are non-aggressive.

Tara was incredibly responsive and provided plenty of updates while we were away. Our animals were truly cared for, and we look forward to working with her more in the future!

Tara went above and beyond caring for the tummy issues my pups experienced while I was gone. She asked permission to do laundry, cleaned up after herself and the dogs.
